WOYWW 851 Travels

Hi all, I’m scheduling this early as tomorrow (Tuesday), tide and weather permitting, we’re going for a trip on the Paddle Steamer Waverley and I’ve my art class on Wednesday morning. Last year our trip on the Waverley was cancelled due to the rough weather. 

My Hand of Autumn is growing, but I’ve not done much this week as we went to Stoke for my aunt’s wake. We were lucky with the driving, but it’s a long way. 

On Friday we met our friends Steve and Lorna Plant at Two Doors Studio in Alsager. They’re lovely and it’s a gorgeous shop - I could buy it all. 

I bought some bottle kiln silver earrings, lots of cards and a few presents. 

They would potentially welcome Tilly’s felted pictures, Jo, and they have space for lots of workshops so I’ll send you their contact details. They suggest she gets in touch. 

Bella is very happy we’re back and is firmly putting me in my place as a cat lap. She sends you all purrs. 

It was tipping down at Folkestone when we got onto the Waverley. It’s an impressive ship, the last ocean going paddle steamer. 

The weather wasn’t brilliant but we enjoyed it. 

Unfortunately, they were late arriving on the Thames due to weather conditions. The highlight of the trip was supposed to be sailing under the open Tower Bridge.. They were too late for the bridge to be opened so we couldn’t get to Tower pier. They cut the trip short at Gravesend. An email detailing reparations is apparently on its way. 
And finally…

I love this. 

Happy WOYWW
